“Collaborating with Space Industry and International Societies and Employing Principles of PECISS for a Sustainable Scientific Workforce”
Global Space Industry collaboration with COSPAR was formally initiated in 2022 as a key component of the forward-looking strategic vision. Now in 2025, the Committee on Industry Relations works actively with COSPAR Panels on Exploration, Space Weather, Planetary Protection and the newly established Panel on Early Careers and International Space Societies (PECISS), collaborating on their common goal of building a sustainable scientific workforce for the future of space science. In Nicosia, experts representing the CIR, PECISS and other Panels will discuss new areas of collaboration involving a variety of scientists from different disciplines in natural and social sciences. PECISS and the CIR speakers will showcase showcase how social sciences and humanities communities provide critical perspectives to global scientific workforce challenges and are instrumental to this COSPAR dialogue.
